Interactive Components (ICOMP) - Embedded sensors and RFID tags for through life part identification and data gathering

该项目将增强建筑和旋翼航空航天领域收集部件位置、身份、状态和操作条件数据的能力。这将通过封装和试验嵌入高价值组件中的无源但智能RFID原型传感器来完成，以收集和更新组件从制造到处置的整个生命周期中的关键数据。在这两个部门，有效的电子数据采集通过改进零件的识别、跟踪、监测和维护，提供了重大的商业和可持续性利益。然而，复杂和恶劣的环境条件，特别是长寿命的部件，所有权的变化，暴露于高振动，限制了这两个行业的采用。通过并行处理这两个部门，将通过技术转让和降低开发成本产生收益，从而在8年内实现投资回报。

The project will enhance the ability in the construction and rotary wing aerospace sectors to gather data on location, identity, status and operating conditions of a component. This will be done by packaging and trialling a passive but smart RFID prototype sensor embedded within high value components to collect and update key data throughout the component's life from manufacture to disposal. In both sectors, effective electronic data acquisition offers major commercial and sustainability benefits from improved identification, tracking, monitoring and maintenance of parts. However, complex and harsh environmental conditions, notably long component lives, ownership changes, and exposure to high vibration, has limited uptake in both sectors. By addressing both sectors in parallel, benefits will arise via technology transfer and reduced development costs, allowing a ROI in under 8 years.
